Food Safety in Microgreens Production

Hello Reader, You saw the Farm Boy story in Friday's digest. E. coli in sprouts. A retail brand in damage control. Now the real question: if an inspector showed up at your operation tomorrow, what would you hand them? I wrote the Food Safety in Microgreens guide as a PCQI. That's the person the FDA certifies to build commercial food safety plans. Not a general food safety course. The actual credential. This week: $97. ($100 off the regular price.) It comes with 8 done-for-you documents,...

The Microgreens Mastery to Health

Hello Reader, Every week at your table, someone picks up a tray and asks. What do I do with these? Are these actually good for me? How do I cook them? You answer. But you're also weighing, bagging, making change, and talking to three other people at once. What if the book answered for you? I have 10 titles covering nutrition, cooking, growing, and health. Soups. Salads. Juices. Egg recipes. Eye health. Hair health. A full 90-day cellular health protocol. Every one of them was written for the...

The book, The Microgreens Method

Hello Reader, Something a little different today. VoyageATL featured me in their Atlanta local stories series.

Cancer at 50, knee surgeries, 30 pounds overweight at 63, while running a nutrition website. The whole thing. If you've been reading Microgreens World for a while, you know the growing guides and the research breakdowns. This is the part I don't usually talk about. Read the...
